Something very right at the club

When Tangfastic signed, it made me sit up and listen. He would’ve been chased by many of clubs with bigger wage bills and bigger expectations- at that point, I started to get excited. We’ve then signed very decent up and coming players that, let’s face it - are what we should be buying. Not has beens or injury prone money thief’s - players with credibility and great potential.

Now, this is all good and great praise for the manager and board. I’ll go one step further and remind all of us that when quality comes into the club, you get at least another 10% out of the existing players because a) they want to retain their place and b) the better quality players bring new life and freshness into training sessions and the ultimate strategy to be better and perform at a high standard.

It really is a win win.

Very good pre season so far. We need to salute our lost soul Mati with a fantastic season for the best small club in the world.
 
With our recent losses that has hit our club hard and very much unexpected especially within a short space of time the club within has remained strong and extremely professional, there has been a big changes with our chairman, CEO, managers and players. But this season once we send off Matija with a big Wall celebration the season will start and from players coming in and players leaving I am really positive and genuinely looking forward to another season with my boy and everyone in ground buzzing I really feel we will surprise a few teams, a nice cup run in the mix and you never know, also seen that the China Hall will be opening back up as a pub!

3 weeks to go, seems along time since the end of last season and what a bloody way to finish after what they put us through looking dire and relegation bound.

I will say it again, Emakhu and Esse are going to be big players for us this season. They will fuck up because of their inexperience, but they will also win us games. It's a judgment call for the manager as to when and how to play them. They are huge talents, and for our future, and for us as a fanbase, we need to back them to the hilt.

Let's be honest, our usual pre season is a tour of Bromley, Dover, Dartford and Gillingham with not much to show on the transfer front.

This season we are playing two prem teams and a Spanish outfit with Reading and Gillingham thrown in. We've signed a forward whose record (at lower levels admittedly) is phenomenal, a top quality centre back and one of the best 2 keepers League One last season.

We are acting like a professional outfit, rewind 6 months and none of this looked on the cards. Who knows if it will translate to anything come the season proper, but hats off to Jnr and Neil and the backroom staff.

With full respect though mate I have seen this sentiment expressed so often, almost every season Infact, in one shape or form! Do hope you’re right of course. I’m just glad that we “seem” a solid mid table team.

Better quality players, also takes away the “heads down and charge” mentality that can so easily infect us. A player who is good on the ball will create a few extra seconds for those around him to find space.

I have been thinking the same mate. I was astonished when Tango chose to come here; I think it shows that players are keen to play for Harris... So to those who label his brand of football as out of date - 'take from that what you will'...

This is a strong argument for Saville starting and being captain.

I certainly hope so. When we see the likes of Josh Stephenson probably slipping away, it's all the more important that we can develop the young talent that we still have.

Give the youngsters who are Good enough a chance with out the fans us getting on their backs to much surely young players would be more likely to stay if they thought they had a reasonable chance

Emakhu is special. He has something about him. That goal against Forest showed that. Esse has silky skills and unreal ability. He also has a lot to learn. Playing both is probably a gamble, but maybe one worth taking. That's easy to say when you are not the Millwall manager and it's your job to get results. I trust Harris to do the best by them both and for the club. But as it stands, right now, Emakhu has to start. There is an argument for both to start wide right and left in a 4-3-3, which would give us an extra man in midfield and would result in not playing Flemming. That would be a big call though. For what it's worth, I think Harris will play Honeyman and Watmore wide and Bradshaw and Flemming.
